ZOYA, an all-natural nail polish company, is giving away three FREE full-size shades of nail polish. Any colors you want. To each and every customer.

Thought that sounded too good to be true? Well you also get three mini bottles of mystery shades. For FREE.

Click the pic to head to Zoya’s website to learn all about the promotion and, of course, BROWSE!

That’s right. You don’t need to buy X amount of bottles, sign away your firstborn, or provide any exceedingly intimate details. All you need to know is the secret code: (NYNH) and pay for shipping & handling. That is one pretty sweet deal.

If you end up treating yourself, come back and tell me what colors you ordered in the comments! I’m excited to see which shades you choose. :) I’m still deciding…

It occurred to me that some of you may be waiting on tenterhooks for news about the Selena Gomez winners! I usually announce them but this time I just reached out to the winners themselves. Didn’t mean to leave you hangin’!

Congrats to:

The rest of y’all, stay tuned because I have a few more giveaways up my sleeve. I’m thinking… a The New Black / Digital Underground Kit. That sounds like fun, doesn’t it?

I was particularly excited to try out Stars at Night, a silver holographic bar glitter in a clear base. My friend Laura (who’s guest posted here before) once painted a similar glitter by Sally Hansen over bare nails. The bar glitter would flash out in little bursts of holo, but the overall effect was far from bling-in-a-bad-way. It was more of an effortless sparkle. I loved it and was dying to recreate it. I used a cream-colored polish from a Digital Underground / The New Black set I had on hand and applied one coat of Stars at Night.

Struggling to capture the sparkle here…

Imagine me waving my hand wildly to get the glow caught on film.

Can you see some hyper-holo action there?

I rarely ever make this comment about glitter but… Stars at Night had way too much glitter and not enough base for me. Usually it’s the other way around! The coverage was more complete than I expected. The next time I use this, I think I’ll choose a light gray or metallic silver base so that the bars of glitter are less obvious.

And here’s my favorite kind of aforementioned bon bon.

The second polish I had to try ASAP was Heavenly Angel. It’s a clear base filled with iridescent chunks; not flakies. Do not confuse these with flakies. These are thicker, coarser, very sparkly chunks. I realize “chunks” is not the most flattering descriptor, but let’s call it like it is! Chunks!

I put this on over a gorgeous deep emerald cream by Illamasqua called Kink. It was a gift from my friend Alison, so it made this manicure even more fun to wear. (Thanks, AliCat!) I wanted to make sure that the chunks would stand out, so I chose a dark base color for contrast; it looked awesome. No complaints on this one, I’d just caution you guys to be careful with the chunks, because sometimes one will get wayward and stick up, or even hang off of your nail. You’ll want to watch out for rascally ones like that before you apply a top coat.

There’s lots of gleaming green and blue, but I think the iridescent chunks are influenced by your base color. If you went for a peach, pink, or purple, I think you’d see different shimmers.

I know this has already been an action-packed post, but I have one more thing to say, and that is: I’m giving away three pairs of Selena Gomez polishes!
